Welcome
to the Chief Petty Officer Academy
WELCOME FROM THE SCHOOL CHIEF :
"Congratulations
on your orders to attend the Chief Petty Officer Academy!
This welcome aboard information explains the purpose
and scope of the academy, what you'll need to bring
with you, and what to expect when you arrive.
A checklist is enclosed to assist in your preparation.
My staff and I are eager to join you on Saturday morning
for the start of what we believe is a very challenging
program. We will do everything in our power
to make your experience memorable and rewarding.
Prepare to be engaged--you will find the Chiefs' Academy
very different from any previous resident course experience.
It is not simply another "C" school, but
the beginning of the most critical transition in your
career--advancement to chief petty officer.
Joining you will be elite representatives of the United
States Air Force, as well as international students
representing their respective maritime services.
Again, congratulations on your selection to attend
the Chief Petty Officer Academy!"

Tendo,
